It represents a breakthrough in pain management options for fibromyalgia, which is defined as chronic widespread pain and tenderness in specific tender points by the American College of Rheumatology.
MRM stated that the photoceutical devices are validated through clinical trials. Optimal light energy doses are provided through curated wavelengths that are given with the correct time and power.
The company’s FibroLux laser was found to reduce mean pain ratings, tender point count and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scores when compared to a placebo in a clinical study.
The total findings showed that MRM laser therapy offers an effective and safe treatment to reduce fibromyalgia pain, with the time taken for the treatment lasting an average of three to six minutes.
